Kenora Score Match August 26th & 27th 2023


Lake of the Woods Gun Club in Kenora held a two-day Score Match August 26th and 27th. It was attended by nine shooters. Saturday at 100 the conditions were fantastic with wind in the single digits. Sunday at 200 was a different story.
Rod Jack was surprisingly tough with a yellow Remington 700.
While the wheels fell right off for a couple competitors including myself, Phil Nick shot consistently well at both yardages. Phil’s targets will be submitted to be considered for a Grand Agg Canadian record.

A reminder of pistol range rules

With the spring clean up of brass on the pistol range it has been discovered that some person(s) have used over calibre sized rifles on the pistol range.

Rules are in place to restrict the size of rifles used on the pistol range, these rules can be found on the club website, under range safety operations manual, under the handgun heading.

Three bullet points I would like to bring to everyone attention are:

9) .17 to .22 calibre center fire and rim fire rifles are permitted.

10) other firearms are restricted to straight- wall chambering only

11) no rifles are to be shot at the falling plates or the dueling trees. These are for pistols only.

This past winter we have maintained the roads to allow access to both pistol and rifle ranges, so no unauthorized rifles should need to be used on the pistol range.

The rifle range has 40 meter, 60 meter and 100 meter target settings which will work with any smaller calibre rifle if needed.

Also, a reminder that the Biathlon range is for specially designed .22 calibre biathlon rifles only.

Thank You for your understanding on this matter, we all work to keep and maintain a safe and functional club range.

Thank You

Steve Zabloski President LWGC

On behalf of the Pistol division/ board of directors

Thank You !

The Centerfire Dueling Tree on the Pistol Range has been replaced with a commercially engineered kit suitable for heavy duty club use.

The LWGC expresses our gratitude to the following members for providing top notch welding and fabrication completed in a short time frame: Lou Monk (Riverview Industries) and Brian Prouty

Thanks Again The Management LWGC
